Post here your issues with lags and server instability

[jjg_the_dark 455]

not true about lag being on purpose. No need for all caps. Rules.

What evidence do you offer that the lag is not introduced on purpose? Just because you say so? Who the heck are you and why should we believe you anyway? Our evidence is that it used to take mere seconds to get in the garage and now it take minutes if you are lucky and it doesn't time out.  Yet, this is not been addressed, therefore it must have been done on purpose. This, the lag, the dumping on a game that ends within seconds after you enter while having waited nearly 2 minutes and other issues that have been introduced with all these "updates" validate the  statement that it is done on purpose or else they would have been fixed by now.. Another possible explanation would be that the developers have no clue how to fix these issues. Either one is not good.

Anyone else having trouble getting into the game this evening?

I had trouble loading into my own PRO battle. It would be endlessly loading but if I press Esc and enter, it'll put me back into the lobby. I reloaded the client twice and it went away.

I'm on browser and I can't even get in.

Never mind, I downloaded chrome onto my laptop and it loaded me right in there.

 

 

Edit: chrome gave me one of the worst lags I've experienced in a long time.

Okay well the issue has been going on for quite some time now. The issue is that the Tanki server client says a message such as "An error has occurred" and asks me to refresh. However, it constantly does this every 3 or 4 battles. Now I don't really mind because it's a game and there are many stuff going in your work center and I'm sure you all do your best to resolve other current and bigger problems. But I just ask to check the tanki client and fix it or at least give me an answer as to why it's doing that. My wifi is good, so it can't be that, my laptop is an MSI laptop, it's a decent gaming laptop, and I recently got it, so it can't possibly be my laptop. So my conclusion is the client. I've tried uninstalling and installing again but the issue remains. 

 

If you can please just have a look at that because it's been going on for months now and other players seem to have the same issue and I am confused as to why it hasn't been fixed.

 

Anyways, thanks!

De Lag!   De Lag!  O Tanki Engineers/Coders,  De Lag!

 

It is sooooooooo bad.  I can drive but I can't turn my turret...litterally.  If I turn the turret it stops the animation for about a half to one full second.  The tank, other tanks, an the timer just freeze for a short amount of time.  It recovers and if you try to turn your turret it does it again.  It takes about 10 seconds to make one full 360 degree rotation of the turret with a dozen short freezes throughout the entire painful process.

 

I can't play the game today so far. 

 

I also have the same problem as Ms.Babe (comment above) and I use Chrome.  I have been getting the "An error has occurred" dialog box every few battles for several weeks now.  ASL is the very worst.  It almost never happens that I can enter a second ASL battle without logging out and back in.  Usually the only way to join an ASL battleat all is to click ASL, let the "loading" page grind for a bit, log out and log back in as quickly as possible.  I can usually catch about four minutes of the seven (well 6:40) minute battle this way.

 

Instead of map changes, OD tweaks, new paints, contests, events, decorations, puzzles, quizzes, tournaments, playoffs, e-sports, blah, blah, blah...couldn't you guys work on getting the game to run properly?

It was horrible.  Played some battles, but many it was like slow motion or driving underwater.

 

Have no idea if Gauss improvements made it worthwhile as every time I held down space-bar for sniping I never saw the end result. 

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

Loaded tanki onto internet explorer this morning and it seemed to be working again and in the same condition as it always. I guess tanki wasnt working on internet explorer last night, anyway, I'm just glad that you guys fixed it and before tonight's server update too.

[jjg_the_dark 455]

I'm pretty sure the developers are putting some kind of effort into reducing lag, but lag is primarily dependent upon your connection to the server, and your connection quality.

The developers can't be doing that all on purpose, if they were, the "lag" you experience now would be worse. As for the garage thing, do you use the client, or some other application. I use the client, and the garage loads just fine.

Again, as I said earlier, it's primarily dependent on your connection to the TO servers.

 

Disc: I'm not saying you have to believe what I say, because I have my own damn opinion and I am free to express it. You don't have to read what I post, and if you don't like it, block me, or suck it up buttercup.  <_< 

I'm @KariWolves   :ph34r: :mellow:

Ahhaaaahaaa! "but lag is primarily dependent upon your connection to the server, and your connection quality." Typical ignorant response! So, my Gigabit Fios connection and my score of quality line of A on DLSREPORTS tests must be the culprit! not the fact that tanki servers cannot handle the load or that their connection could be problematic! Or the fact that the software is so poorly written that they do not properly tear down invalid TCP/IP connections causing new connections to wait to enter the game!

 

I am not going to block you because I am amused by your ignorant responses.  if you read the complaints, you would see that the majority of players complain about the lag which happens to get worse by each "update". 

As far as the client goes, I am glad you are using it, but again I have a choice not to clutter my PC with game clients when I can play through a browser.  By, the way, in pro battles, I rarely have any issue getting in the garage within a reasonable time.  It is only on this "wonderful" MM system. And, the issue happens only if I try to get in the garage while in a battle and not from the main screen.  So yeah, I think they do it on purpose or they have no clue how to fix it.  By the way, I do play WoT and World of Warships and I NEVER had ANY lag issues. But then again, comparing WoT to Tanki is like trying to compare a Porsche to a Yugo (if you do know what that is, Google it!)

 

 

Nice to meet you KariWolves, but then again in the grand scheme of things your opinion is just as insignificant as mine because the people who make decisions regarding this game are just as clueless.

[Nicola_M 1,563]

Can't help feeling that the more stuff Tanki puts in the game - animated paints, different alts, shot effects and now overdrives - the more it lags.

 

I don't remember the lag two years ago, when there was much less "stuff" in the game.

10 years of this game in existence and the lags still exist. Honestly, I was more than used to dealing with bugs where my tank would move on its own and even found some workarounds. But today it randomly started using my supplies and dropping Gold Boxes. Yea, this is where I draw the line. I know better than most people that this is just another of thousands of rants which carries no significance but I guess I have to vent about it anyway. I don't expect my supplies to be compensated since neither I nor the devs have any way of verifying that what I'm saying. 
This is more of a distant wish than something I expect to be acknowledged, but please, please work on your servers first before bombing the frontend with heavy stuff. Absolutely no one is going to like a beautifully packaged product if it works like ****.

I honestly don't know what lags you refer to. There are loads of problems in MM where you keep getting kicked out the game but I don't seem to experience the lags you describe. What are your PC specs? This article may help: How to reduce lags.

Thanks, but that doesn't help at all. I'm more than aware of all the possible techniques and solutions to solve things from client side, but none of that helps. Perhaps your are located closer to the servers than I which is why you've never faced the issue I describe, but it's more than common in my part of the world. Both my PC and Internet Connection are overkills for something like Tanki. 

Like I said before, it was just a rant to vent my frustrations. There's nothing I can do and I don't have high hopes from devs either. It is what it is.

Just out of interest, what is your screens refresh rate?

60 Hz

[OKDad70 862]

Lag has been bad ever since before ODs were implemented. It is sometimes impossible. Today is the worst I've seen.

 

Fix it!

 

It ain't on my side because it doesn't happen when there are few ODs going off.

Why does the server always crash? -Waisper-

[Tasbir_PRO 0]

I have a issue which happens more often. When i click play on mm battles i find a match then it starts to load.This loading never ends after some time it shows me that i was disconnected due to inactivity i have a good internet connection though this happens . I also deleted local file and reinstalled the client but its still the same .

Please tell me how do i solve this issue . This happens to browser version too -_-

[Destrod 2,634]

Hello. The recent updates have caused irregularities especially on older PC versions, here's how you can try to solve them.

If you're using chrome, try clearing the browser's cache memory, you can simply google the instructions and it's not all that difficult to do.

However, since Tanki has decided to move from the flash version, you'll be facing alot of problems while using Chrome as mentioned in this announcement topic, so I advise not using it.

If you're using client, you can clear its cache as well by following these instructions.(https://help.tankionline.com/knowledge-bases/7/articles/44519-how-to-clean-tanki-online-clients-cache)

 

Hope it helps :) If possible, please send screenshots so we can deduce your problem further.
